What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal operates by targeting the pigment within the hair follicle’s root, generating heat to eliminate the hair and hinder its regrowth. This method is most effective for individuals with hair tones ranging from light brown to black. To achieve significant hair reduction, it is advisable to undergo a minimum of six sessions for optimal results.

Alternatively, if you prefer not to completely remove the hair, we offer the option of laser hair reduction. This process reduces hair growth, resulting in softer and thinner hair, which causes less friction in sensitive areas. If you’re considering the choice between laser hair reduction and laser hair removal, please explore our Laser Hair Reduction options, a unique service utilizing laser technology exclusively available at Bespoke Surgical.

Patients should anticipate scheduling their treatments every 4-8 weeks at our New York office. The frequency of sessions will depend on factors such as initial hair density, hair color, skin tone, pain tolerance, and personal scheduling preferences. At Bespoke Surgical, we take pride in using one of the most advanced machines, the Cynosure Elite IQ, which employs a dual wavelength YAG / Alexandrite system suitable for all skin types. Our licensed Aestheticians, including Austin Ielpi, LE, take a results-oriented approach tailored to your specific needs. Explore our range of laser hair reduction services below to discover how Bespoke Surgical can assist you in achieving your desired results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does laser hair removal work?
Our licensed Aesthetician glides the laser instrument across the skin while emitting the laser beam. The laser penetrates through the skin and specifically targets the hair follicles. The heat and light from the laser strategically damage the follicles and eliminate hair growth.

Does laser hair removal hurt?
Laser hair removal can feel a bit like a rubber band snap on the skin. Our laser is highly effective and extremely adjustable to make the experience comfortable for our patients while delivering great results. We always do a few test spots with the patient to see how they are tolerating the setting and it’s easy to quickly adjust the setting. In fact, we often adjust the setting a few times throughout the treatment as certain areas are more sensitive than others (such as the hole compared to the butt cheek). We also have an amazing cooling device attached to our laser which makes a huge difference in terms of comfort level.

How many sessions of laser hair removal do I need?
This varies from patient to patient. There are a few factors to consider such as how much hair there is at baseline, the color of the hair, the skin color of the patient, and the patient’s pain tolerance. Patients undergoing hormone replacement for testosterone will also have greater difficulty with hair reduction and will require more sessions to achieve their goals. The patients that see the best and fastest results have dark hair and lighter skin, as the laser setting can be safely set at a higher setting. That being said, our laser is equipped to treat all skin tones, and all of our patients have been satisfied with their laser results.

But like how many laser hair removal sessions on average?
We sell our laser hair removal packages in sets of 6. Most patients see amazing results in 5-9 sessions. Again, it varies dramatically depending on the patients baseline hair density, skin tone, hair color, and pain tolerance.

Are there people who don’t qualify for laser hair removal?
People with white, grey, light blonde and light red hair unfortunately won’t see results from laser hair removal as the laser is targeting pigment in the hair follicle but these tones lack pigment.

What areas can you treat with laser hair removal?
We can treat virtually any area with hair. Common areas we regularly treat are the butt, pubic region, back, shoulders, and neck.

I have hair on the shaft of my penis. Is this normal? Can this be lasered?
Yes this is normal. In fact, most guys naturally have some degree of hair on the shaft of the penis. We treat this area very regularly and patients see amazing results.

Is it safe to laser your scrotum?
Yes, it’s safe. We treat this area very regularly in our brazilian or bikini package.

What is the downtime for laser hair removal?
There’s no downtime. We just recommend patients avoid exercise, sun exposure and hot showers for at least 4 hours. Goal is just to keep the area cool and dry. Apply spf (as you always should be) to the area if it’s exposed to the sun.

Are there any side effects from laser hair removal?
The most common side effect from laser hair removal is itchiness. This can be easily treated with over the counter hydrocortisone cream. Patients who experience itchiness generally only feel it during the first 1-3 days after their treatment session.

Is there a non-aesthetic reason for getting laser hair removal?
Yes. So we actually started performing laser hair removal at Bespoke Surgical because we found that a significant amount of our patients were shaving/waxing regularly and there’s a correlation between this type of skin trauma and triggering hpv to develop into genital/anal warts. We always recommend laser hair removal to our medical patients who have been treated for hpv and prefer a hair free aesthetic.

Can I laser hair that’s on a tattoo?
No. Unfortunately, since the laser targets pigment running it over a tattoo would ruin the tattoo and possibly burn the patient. Thus these areas need to be avoided.

Is laser hair removal an option for people with darker complexions?
Our laser is a dual laser and thus can treat all skin complexions. You are correct that some lasers cannot be used on darker complexions (or even just any laser in the wrong hands). Our licensed Aesthetician has personally treated some burn scars on a patient who was burned at a different office. It’s important to do your research when receiving any medical or aesthetic procedure. At Bespoke Surgical we’ve successfully treated patients of all skin complexions.

How long does laser hair removal last? Will hair grow back after?
Although the laser permanently destroys the active hair follicles it hits, the body is able to create new hair follicles. The amount of hair follicles your body makes is related to age, gender, hormone levels, and metabolism. Most patients who want to maintain a smooth appearance will go on a maintenance plan that usually consists of a laser session every few months vs. the original treatment plan of every few weeks. Otherwise, most patients see very little hair regrowth and many think it’s fine as is.

How will it look if I get laser hair removal on my butt, but not my legs?
A lot of patients ask about this. We recommend buzzing 2-3 inches below the butt with a trimmer at a medium length to create a fade. Once patients try this method, they’re usually very into this natural looking aesthetic. It compliments speedos and boy shorts well, too. It just requires some experimentation to find the right trimmer (and length) for you.

I want to get laser hair removal for my pubes, but I don’t want to be completely hairless. Is this possible?
Yes. Our licensed Aesthetician can customize the shape and style of your pubes however you want. Some people will leave hair above, but like to get the inner legs done since this area is more prone to ingrown hairs and razor burns. Regardless of your aesthetic preferences, just let us know and we’ll customize your treatment to your preference.

I’ve had laser hair removal before, but it didn’t work. Is your service any different?
It depends. There are a lot of medspas and clinics using outdated lasers. We still sometimes hear about some places using IPL machines, which are not actually designed for laser hair removal. Here at Bespoke Surgical, we use the Alexandrite and Yag Duo laser, which is the gold standard machine for laser hair removal. What this means is we can fully customize the settings to your skin and hair type to deliver the best results possible.

I can’t seem to trim my own butt without getting ingrown hairs. Any suggestions?
This is a very common problem for a lot of men. We have a few tips: trim the hair with a larger clipper so you’re not getting so close to the skin. Problems arise when you nick the skin because it heals over the hair follicle, resulting in ingrown hairs, butt acne, etc. You can also use a cleanser designed to treat acne that contains salicylic acid. After shaving, lather the cleanser on your butt and leave it on for 3 minutes. This will help a lot in preventing ingrown hairs and butt acne that results from clogged hair follicles. Finally, laser hair removal is a great option to remove unwanted hair. It’s quick and cost/time effective.

How do you safely manscape your hole and should you?
There are definitely a lot of weird bending, leg going up one way, and other unnatural moves going on, it’s basically yoga! While shaving, sugaring, using Nair, and waxing are all effective ways of removing hair, if you’re looking to rock a smoother butt, then laser hair removal is your best option. We don’t recommend regularly shaving, sugaring, using Nair, or waxing because of microtrauma caused to the hole that can trigger HPV activity (most people already have it in this area), which is when we start to see skin tags and other growths. That said, trimming regularly with a buzzer is safe and effective to manage the hair.

How should I prepare for my laser hair removal session?
Sun exposure and antibiotics should be avoided for 2 weeks prior to receiving laser hair removal. Skin that is exposed to sun is more sensitive to the laser. Tanned skin is also more difficult to treat when it comes to seeing results. Therefore, we ask patients to try to be at their baseline skin color. Patients must be off Accutane for at least one year before being treated. Patients should ideally shave 1-3 days before their appointment. Same day shaving is not recommended as the skin is more irritated and it’s harder for the laser to find the hair follicle to treat. Waxing, sugaring, and chemical hair removal (like Nair) should be discontinued at least a month before laser hair removal treatment.
